ECQF GAME 7 - 8:14 PM - Toronto Maple Leafs (3) @ BOSTON BRUINS (3) - I assure you Woll is injured

[TheBeastCoast]

I truly hope Samsonov wins, otherwise everyone will blame him and him only for this series

I mean...it will be a pretty big reason why we would have lost the series.

I wish I knew Woll was out 12 mins ago when I bet on da leafs

 

[VainGretzky]

Matthews being back is all that matters.

For the Bruins because they know all the passes are going to him and his linemates won't shoot , so easy to zero in on him

 

[pcruz]

Oh what the f***?



Now Woll is out.


Jesus Christ!


Whoever the f*** has the voodoo doll should go to hell.

 

[red devil]

Why would the Leafs start Samsonov when Woll won the last two games and is the main reason why there is a game 7?

Unless Woll is injured - this is a fire able decision

He's injured as he isn't even the backup

 

[Ace]

What’s more damaging for Toronto? Woll being out? Or Matthews being in?

 

[cyris]

I’m beginning to think woll may be a bit overrated…. By these reactions

I think it’s more about the lack of faith in Samsonov.

 

[Pi]

f*** off. This team is cursed.

 

[HockeyVirus]

Matthews the 3rd line center tonight. I wonder how he is going to play. He must be really hurt to be our 3rd line C

Woll being out. Isn't even close.

At the end of the day the games going to come down to the leafs stars showing up, or not

I think leafs pull it off but imagine they dont.

Theres leaf management excuse to run it back.. "well thats because woll was injured"

They protected Woll well with Matthews out. He wasn’t some hero, it was an easy nights work the past few games. He isn’t an excuse. They need to win more ugly games and if they don’t win tonight, their entire staff should be held accountable because Boston has been terrible outside of Swayman all series. This series has looked like two bottom 10 teams battling it out.

And by leafs stars I mean refs of course

STFU Ron holy shit

Matthews back is far more impactful than Woll out. Bruins hardly tested Woll.

A Leafs fan actually "laughed" at the idea that Matthews would be more impactful than a back up at best goalie.... remarkable.

 

[Mr Kot]

Just keep playing hard and tighten up defensively. Samsonov can still stop some pucks, just needs a bit support.

Trying to act like the goalie's performance doesn't matter is pretty silly lol Matthews could get a hat trick tonight and it wouldn't matter if the goalie no shows.

 

[kwichang]

Woll is out?? Can’t we have a simple drama-free game 7 for once OMG

 

[cyris]

Why would the Leafs start Samsonov when Woll won the last two games and is the main reason why there is a game 7?

Unless Woll is injured - this is a fire able decision

Woll isn’t even backing up. He is clearly unable to play unless this is some kinda ruse which I doubt

 

[Canucks LB]

The crazy part is, the leafs have such a nice built-in excuse this year .

What actually happens if they lose game seven?

They’ve had crazy injuries, illnesses, and everything

Matthews isn't 100%.

Samsonov is a -2 goals per game. He allows roughly 1 extra goal every 10 shots than Woll. Assuming the Bruins get 20 shots, that's 2 extra goals. 3 extra goals if they get 30.

You're basically expecting an injured Matthews to pot 2 goals just to put the Leafs on even ground with Samsonov in net. The main problem is Samsonov is horrible. I would have took my chances with Martin Jones over Samsonov.

Ron's a legend. How dare you.

Just keep playing hard and tighten up defensively. Samsonov can still stop some pucks, just needs a bit support.

I will say, if Samsonov can get the same defensive support + removing the middle of the o-zone that Leafs played in the last couple of games, he SHOULD fare well.

That said, Samsonov is prone to stupid goals though.
